TypeORM - never return the password from the database when fetching a user

Question

I created a REST API using NestJs with TypeORM. Basically this is my user entity

@Entity(\'User\')
export class User extends BaseEntity {
  @PrimaryGenerated         


        

Answer 1

Just add the select: false option to the column definition. With it, the column won't be selected unless explicitly added via addSelect, see the docs.

@Entity()
export class User {

    @Column({select: false})
    password: string;
}
